Sueño is Obie Award-winning playwright José Rivera's translation and adaptation of Calderon de la Barca's classic Life Is a Dream. Set in 1635, this metaphysical drama—renowned as one of the jewels of the Spanish Golden Age— follows the life of Segismundo, heir to the Spanish throne, imprisoned at birth after astrologers predict his kingship would ruin the country. Raised in isolation, his only companions are the nobleman Clotaldo - and God, though Calderon isn't sure if God himself isn't "the greatest dream of all".
